ltc did very well in her first swim lesson.
Yay! I hope she had fun.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

She loved it and is very proud of herself.

There's a lot to be said for peer pressure re swim lessons, and seeing the other kids having fun.
Karl, glad to hear you're doing well now. (Heart attack took my Dad at 52, and both my brothers have had to have procedures around that age!)

Good gravy, Karl! Please take care of your very good heart.
Great job, ltc. sj, I think you will find that swimming is the absolute best thing for tuckering kids out and getting them to bed in a timely fashion.
After Matilda's very fun baseball camp, she's in a new camp this week that goes on a field trip every day. She's already texted me twice to tell me she hates it. And they haven't even gotten out the door yet.

That's not a problem we have. She won't nap anymore. So at night she is asleep within seconds of her head hitting the pillow.

Ugh, I'm waiting for the Novocain to kick in, and the endodontist says there's 60-40 chance the tooth will need to be pulled. So any keep-the-tooth vibes will be appreciated.

Our wings are not tired.
Tooth~ma!
So good that the swimming lesson went well. Even in Florida I run into kids that can't swim and it is really sad.
